Tortue IS NOT torture!

HE KEEPS ME SANE at the office.

This is why!

Yes, I did spend some time snapping pics of Tortue. He’s a little vain pot – just like his owner. *lol* But in all seriousness, our little creature here took a while to get used to the camera. Taking basking shots of him weren’t so easy since he gets skittish when exposed in such a manner. Nevertheless, I liked how they turned out.

By the way, don’t mind the captions. I’m in a good mood today. :)

Stop staring, will ya? You’re making me blush.

Someone once told me that a relationship is only so complex as the people who allow it to be so. Love is, in fact, so simple that even children who look at it with innocent eyes sum up everything with a hug, a kiss and a smile.

My left jaw is kind of sore and swollen. The pain is not setting in…yet. I hope I’ll be able to do some work tomorrow – I really have to finish this product by Sunday night… *sighs*

The next thing now is to pray and hope that the right wisdom tooth doesn’t give me any freaking problems. Why? Because if it comes out, it will come out root-up.

God. Why do I have this freaking problem?

Pics of Tortue…

…as he settles into his new home.

It’s been nearly a month and I must say, it feels great having him around. He makes me happy.

Well, nothing beats watching him bask, flop around, begging for food AND sleep. :lol:

(Yes, I know the pix quality is bad but I keep forgetting to bring my Canon to work. T.T)
